Summary
Maria Hill can't open a pill bottle, pick a lock, or hold a pair of chopsticks. She can, however, still glare a SHIELD Director into submission from a hospital bed — right up until he sends her home with the one person she's been very carefully not thinking about.
Natasha isn't going anywhere. She's just not going to mention the kiss. Or her feelings. Or the fact that she's catalogued every single devastating smile in Maria's arsenal.Series

Summary
Bella Swan came to Rainier State to disappear. Into her books, her writing, her solitude. She wanted a quiet start to college life. New town, new routine, no complications. But something is wrong at Rainier State. The woods whisper. The missing posters multiply. And beneath the ivy-draped halls and rain-slick rooftops, something sneers in the shadows.
Then there’s Rosalie Hale. Flawless, untouchable, terrifying Rosalie. She's gorgeous and smart and absolutely hiding something. Her presence is a gravity Bella can’t escape—and maybe doesn’t want to.
The deeper Bella gets into the campus mysteries, the sharper the world around her becomes. People are lying. Women are missing.
A monster is hunting.

Summary
After being pulled into the uncharted Delta Quadrant by an unknown anomaly during a firefight, the crew of the battered Federation starship USS Pensieve are reluctantly forced into an uneasy alliance with the surviving Order of the Phoenix mercenaries. Under the unflappable leadership of Captain Minerva McGonagall, the roughly united crew begins their years' long journey into the unknown.
As alien dangers, internal betrayals, and the ever-present danger of vengeful Death Eaters threaten their fragile unity, this rag-tag crew must navigate treacherous new frontiers—and each other—as they try to survive the long trek home.

Summary
Maria has always been better at action than words. When intel surfaces that could lead her to Yelena, she doesn't hesitate. She doesn't tell anyone either — this is between her and Natasha. This is their trust.
She goes to Afghanistan for Natasha. Not for SHIELD, not for the mission. For Natasha. It was always going to be for Natasha.
Afghanistan wasn't done with her yet.

Summary
The Alkaline series is a slow-burn mosaic of spies, scars, and survival. Across continents and safehouses, SHIELD agents navigate missions gone wrong, betrayals that cut deep, and friendships that turn into something far more dangerous. At its heart, it’s about Maria Hill and Natasha Romanoff—two women forged by different wars, colliding in a partnership built on trust, deception, and the rare moments of tenderness they allow themselves between the explosions.

Summary
In the wreckage left by war, Hermione Granger is learning how to live again—managing PTSD, the lingering curse Bellatrix carved into her, and the quiet terror of an illness that steals her strength with every spell. At the Department of Magical Creatures, she finds herself in the midst of a political storm over creature rights and a world unsettled by violence. Two killers haunt the shadows—one butchering witches and wizards like grotesque art, another hunting down those of creature blood. But the most unexpected turn isn’t the mystery: it’s Fleur Delacour. What begins as wartime care grows into a layered, transformative romance that becomes Hermione’s greatest source of healing—and the one thing she can’t afford to lose.

At its heart, the series is about two women learning to build a life together. Lara, mortal but relentless, and Diana, divine but searching for home.
Even in Arcadia.

Summary
Some predators stalk their prey. Others sit beside them in lecture hall.
Set against the rainy, restless nights of a Pacific Northwest campus, the Sundowning Series follows Bella Swan as she begins her college years at Rainier State University. She only wants a fresh start, but what she finds is obsession, haunting intimacy, and a love story sharp enough to draw blood.
Rosalie Hale is beautiful, brilliant, and not entirely human. Her family is a mystery, her presence an enigma—and Bella is drawn to her like a moth to flame. But shadows gather at the edges of campus: missing women, predatory forces, rival monsters, and secrets that refuse to stay buried.
What begins as a slow burn between two unlikely souls unravels into a saga of romance, horror, and survival. Each year of college peels back another layer—of Rosalie’s past, of Bella’s resilience, of the monsters both human and not that stalk the dark.

Summary
“How do you LOSE a person Barton!?”
The archer finds himself wincing on pure reflex and he holds up his hands in defense.
“Hey, in my defense, it wasn’t my bright idea to bring the world’s most dangerous super spy onto the helicarrier.” If looks could kill, Clint knows he would be pushing daisies. He gulps and straightens his posture. “Aheh…Sir. I didn’t lose her! She’s just ah, misplaced?”
